Featured Reviews

Asim Naeem - PeerSpot reviewer
Providing comprehensive insight into alerts while working towards AI enhancement
I definitely recommend Rapid7 InsightIDR. It is becoming better, with improvements being continuously made to the product. Right now, I do not have any advice about Rapid7 for other users because every organization or user has different criteria or multiple use cases, so I refrain from commenting on that. I rate the overall solution seven out of ten.
Roftiel Constantine - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides proactive threat remediation, reduces alert volume, and enhances incident response capabilities
During our pre-purchase evaluation of SentinelOne's EDR capabilities three years ago, we were consistently impressed by the positive relationships customers reported having with SentinelOne's engineers, sales teams, and customer success managers. These strong relationships, evident in the customers' unsolicited feedback, highlighted the "soft skills" and intangible qualities that SentinelOne possessed. This positive customer experience has been mirrored in our own interactions with them. Their responsiveness to our needs, particularly when addressing a couple of challenges we faced, has been excellent. They proactively scheduled weekly meetings to demonstrate their commitment to resolving our issues, a customer-centric approach I admire. SentinelOne's dedication to customer service, including their rapid technology updates and responsiveness to our suggestions, has been crucial to our success in protecting our organization. Their ability to quickly incorporate our needs into new releases is truly impressive and sets them apart. Overall, I highly recommend SentinelOne based on our positive interactions across all levels of their organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"InsightIDR has allowed us to find potential security issues that we did not know existed, and get remediation quickly."
"The alerting to drive investigations and remediation has been its most valuable feature.​"
"Dashboards, including the main screen, provide much-needed information at a glance, without hours of coding and sifting through logs to find it. In case of an actual security incident, I have faith that insightIDR has retained all logs in a secure manner that prevents log tampering as well."
"InsightIDR’s ability to process millions of transactions per day, and to notify me of the most critical ones, is priceless. InsightIDR has the alerts tuned, and has the ability to quickly drill down to determine the threat level."
"The product works well. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Rapid7 is easy to use and deploy. It is a simple solution and has easy data pulling."
"I like the tool's user analysis feature."
"I rate Rapid7 nine out of 10 for affordability"
"The protection provided by SentinelOne Singularity Identity is the most valuable feature."
"I like the detection and protection features. We don't need to do anything, and it will alert us when the mitigation is not successful. We only need to target those endpoints. Otherwise, we don't have to do anything about that."
"SentinelOne stands out due to its AI capabilities, which lead to excellent prevention."
"The most valuable feature of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is its ability to detect based on behavior rather than just static signatures."
"The AI provides a futuristic ML model. That helps a lot when it comes to shifting security approaches and hep better forecast attacks."
"The biggest value for us is getting a much better picture of what our risks are."
"Behind the scenes, SentinelOne has real people who evaluate problems and mark them as false positives. That's what I find most helpful."
"The effectiveness of their AI and behavioral analysis helps mitigate zero-day activities and detect new threats."
 

Cons

"The APIs can be further improved in Rapid7."
"Inability to get access to compliance reports within the solution."
"Tenable Nessus is easier to deal with. It's more efficient and accurate. InsightIDR is heavier than Tenable in terms of performance and scanning. Rapid7 would be much easier to use if it had a network connector like Tenable. Tenable's connector allows continuous monitoring over the B caps."
"I would like to see more development in InsightIDR towards building their SIEM solution and converting it to XDR."
"Currently, it lacks the functionalities provided by Rapid7's User Behavior Analytics (UBA)."
"It takes time for the product's support team to resolve issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs improvement in threat intelligence. Increasing the depth of intelligence to help users understand more about threats is a possibility. My suggestion is to expand access to other websites or resources."
"Needs a better ability to customize the check within the console."
"Our company has different locations, such as Sunbury, Oklahoma, and Alabama. I have my devices by location, and I have not found a way to choose all the endpoints and then push the update automatically. I have been doing it one by one."
"The root cause of automation could be better."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity could be more user-friendly."
"Support could be faster. They need a faster response time."
"Agent connectivity can be improved, as it is one aspect of the product with certain shortcomings."
"We've brought three critical items to their attention regarding vulnerability management."
"I don't like SentinelOne's reporting tools. Their reports seem fine theoretically, but the issue is the sample size. For example, it will report that there were four incidents, and that equals 25 percent fewer incidents compared to the previous months. It would be a great improvement if I could expand the range to see reports for the last six months, but it's always one month. That would be an easy thing for them to resolve."
"There is a clear roadmap for improvements, including enhancing capabilities with AI and seamless functionality in an MSP model for deeper visibility across multiple agencies. Further development is anticipated to continue enhancing the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rapid7 InsightIDR's pricing is reasonable."
"It is more reasonably priced than other vendors."
"The pricing is good, and it is not very expensive."
"The pricing of the solution depends on the user. But there is a yearly licensing cost."

"It is on a yearly basis. For our own company, for about 250 users, it was 16,000 euros a year."
"It is a reasonably priced solution."
"The pricing and licensing are competitive."
"Their pricing has been fair, especially in the current market, and they haven't excessively increased prices at renewal times like many vendors do."
"Its price is a little bit high. It is a nice product, but it comes at a cost. Compared to other products, it is not cheap, but you sometimes have to pay for the value you get. It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
"The price of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is relatively high, but it offers numerous features and capabilities that make it well worth the investment."
"Compared to competitors, it's well-priced for the quality offered, and I don't see anyone surpassing them in that regard."
"SentinelOne Singularity Identity's pricing is cheaper than CrowdStrike and is really good."
"SentinelOne seemed to offer more while being priced lower than its competitors."
"The price is affordable."
"The cost of SentinelOne Singularity Identity is better than CrowdStrike."
